Was very wobbly and leaning forward too much... ended up doing some regular squats since my arms were getting tired trying to maneuver that much weight around. Any tips? | No, most can't front squat what they can back squat.
I forget, are you training in a gym? If so, do leg presses instead. |

They will definitely take practice. If you have never done them before, you might want to skip them for now. Build up strength, then move on to them. |
